Hi,


I upload photos to several agencies and one agency (Fotolia) insist that all images sent to it have to have comas in between the keywords. I have a lot of photos that already have keywords in them, but are not separated with comas, there's just blank space.

So I was wondering if there's any software app that can automaically add comas between words. If not, how do I do this in an automated way? I 'd like to hear your suggestions.

Thanks in adavance.

Hi,

I use a keywording tool called exifer, I also upload to fotolia and my keywords seem to be fine. I have never had to add comma's or change then in any way. Strange.. :?:

How do you keyword your images?

I am currently using Adobe bridge and when I upload the pictures to Fotolia they are already placed in the right box but as a single word, so I can't select separate words. When I manually placed comas between the keywords it worked just fine. So now I have to put comas between keywords and I think I' ll give exifer another try. I used this program but it was made redundant when I found out that Brdige does the same thing and I use it for different things also.

By the way, I am new to Fotolia, what about you? How are you doing there compared to other sites?

, Im quite new there and it seems OK,

Its not as good as SS or IS but it comes a comes in above Dreamstime.

The trick is to keep uploading, I also seem to sell my photoshop graphics more there than normal photos, quite often for promo use. (you sometimes get feeback) which is handy..

Sales are steadily growing too,

Its a relatively new site. they have a good promotions too.

Weird thing about Fotolia is that all I ever sell there is isolated objects. I don't ever sell anything else. I believe they opened their doors in November - I've got 6 dl's from about 120 images since then (pretty good for new site). I think they are experiencing some growing pains though. Noticed someone who has a very large portfolio pulled his images because of a misunderstanding in the Terms of Service.

It'll be interesting to see what develops!

I have been trying to add pre-existing keywords to exifer but I can't do it all at once. I have to select the words individually and then add them to the keywords field. Am I doing something wrong? How do youy guys do it? Regards from Macedonia. Ljupco

I was having a lot of problems with Adobe Photoshop CS replacing all of the commas with " ; " semicolons....so stupid. Not many of the sites take semi-colons, so I just got a new EXIF & IPTC data editor. It's a great little freeware image viewer called IrfanView

www.irfanview.com

I put in my title, description, keywords- and then the only thing left to do is the categories (not fun)

Yeah, it's much more than a keyword editor too - batches things really quick - like resizing, adding borders, inserting text (like a watermark), and you can create basic panoramic images, thumbnails, slideshow It also has the ability to open almost any image file type (including raw) and will batch raw files to any other image type you select (like .tiff), though it's very slow batching out the raw files; plays video and movie files, plays sound files...

I created the Shutterstock poster using the batch function in Irfanview in way less time that it would have taken with PS.

I've been using this for about 2 years - wonderful little program. I don't use it for photo editing (colour adjustment, etc.), though it has plugins.
